Here's the thing: you've got two teams heading in completely opposite directions. The Pacers are just trying to get to the offseason, plain and simple, sitting at a dismal 16-58. They've dropped seven of their last ten, including a 129-122 loss to the Kings where Buddy Hield shot 4-for-15.
Meanwhile, Miami is scratching and clawing for playoff positioning at 39-35, and they’ve won six of their last ten. Jimmy Butler is playing some of his best basketball, averaging 21.6 points and 6.0 assists in March. The key matchup to watch is Bam Adebayo against Myles Turner; Turner's length can bother anyone, but Adebayo's motor is relentless. I think Miami wins this one handily.
Miami Heat 118 – Indiana Pacers 98
